German Eagle: Steel and Magic

Chapter 81 Helgoland

Two sets of military uniforms per person, including brand new leather boots and belts, and two sets of aviation combat uniforms per person. If I knew that the Central Army would prepare them, Karl would not have to carry three sets of military uniforms and two sets of aviation combat uniforms. .

However, as a little red man who only wears customized styles, it is good to have a few more sets of clothes.

In addition to the clothes, they also came with armbands, a total of four, which happened to be sewn on two sets of new uniforms and two sets of aviation combat uniforms.

Unlike other countries, the German army likes to let its soldiers sew the logo representing the unit they belong to. It may seem more convenient, and it can be regarded as a ritual.

The main body of the armband is the military emblem of the Central Army, and there is a black silhouette of a magic vehicle underneath, with 1033 written inside, which represents the affiliation of the 1033 Squadron, which is directly under the Central Army Headquarters.It also looks pretty good.

Being directly under the headquarters of the Central Army is almost equivalent to being half a head taller than other troops of the same level.

Finally, get your military ID card.It was a small book with the holder's detailed information, such as photo, name, military rank, position, unit to which he belonged, etc.

Generally, each person only has one copy, because there are ten pages in it. When you are promoted, you only need to tear off the previous ones and write in new ones. ID card for use.

Of course, this kind of thing is still extremely "precious". The previous copy had to be handed in for recycling. If the military ID card is lost and used by someone who wants to use it, it will cause some unnecessary troubles.

After handing over the old ID cards of all the staff to the Lieutenant Colonel, this change of clothes will be considered complete.

"It seems that the personnel in your department are well-trained. If it's our slack lads, I don't know how long it will take." The lieutenant colonel praised Karl's team very carefully, and then waved towards the rear waved.

They were a few waitresses from the Navy Club, holding plates of delicacies in their hands, followed by a group of waiters, who brought tables and chairs, spread tablecloths, and brought a few vases of decorative flowers along the way.

It's hard to imagine what kind of high-level treatment they received. If the navy would receive such treatment from time to time, maybe the 1033 aviation mage squadron led by Karl would be disbanded on the spot that night and ran to the navy.

The sky was getting dark, and after the waiter finished the arrangement, he placed candlesticks on the table and inserted candles.The waitresses put the food on the table and set the cutlery.

Several chefs walked over pushing the trolley, some barbecue products needed to be made on the spot, the military band played cheerful music, and the waitresses stood in a row with professional smiles.

"Because the recent war is urgent, some resources will be relatively tight, and the preparations are insufficient. Please forgive me..."

This lieutenant colonel seems to be very good at talking, raising everyone's astonishment level by about half a level. This squadron has eaten and lived, but he is still amazed at the hospitality of the navy.

"You call this a shortage of supplies? This treatment, if not because of the special nature of this team, wouldn't be like this usually? Wouldn't it be really so arrogant?"

……

"I knew, how could it be so comfortable all the time..."

Carl and his party sat on the ferry, looked up at the seagulls in the sky, and began to worry about the follow-up arrangements.Early the next morning, I received follow-up instructions from the Navy and went to the Heligoland Naval Base, where I conducted maritime combat training.

As a marine, many people in the 1033 Squadron were going to sea for the first time, so they were extremely excited, but human beings' joys and sorrows were not connected. Amy was just sitting in a corner, looking at the vast sea.

By the way, the little guy Fenner was very excited at the beginning, and even wanted to take this opportunity to make out with Carl, but soon felt uncomfortable and showed signs of seasickness, most likely because he didn't eat breakfast, Cause of fasting.

Karl lay leisurely on the beach chair basking in the sun, blowing the sea breeze, squinting forward from time to time, the black spot in the distance should be Heligoland Island.

Speaking of it, Helgoland is a special existence in the German Empire, and its significance exceeds any fortress on the Western Front.

The empire's naval forces have always been weak, so they can only carry out offshore defense strategies. The key to defense is the military port, and Helgoland is the most important one.

Heligoland is located in the Heligoland Bay, the throat of the Elbe River estuary, and the core of the defense of the northern coast of the empire.

There is a saying in the navy - even if you lose all the coasts, you can't lose Helgoland!

Whether it is the importance of the terrain or the painstaking efforts of the German Empire here, there is no room for the slightest mistake in this island.

The small island of less than ten square kilometers is almost entirely occupied by the garrison. There is a deep-water harbor here, where the most elite warships of the German Empire are moored.There is also an airstrip on the island, the main function is to detect and provide fleet support.

After all, anyone who occupies this island is equivalent to occupying the Heligoland Bay.Occupying the Heligoland Bay is tantamount to occupying the northern coast of the German Empire.

The island of Heligoland thus became the core of the German Empire's coastal defenses.

With a siren sounding, the ferry Karl was on finally arrived at the small island. As soon as he landed on Helgoland, Karl saw an "old" acquaintance, Chief of Staff of the German Empire Navy, Deputy Commander of the North Sea Fleet, Hull Lieutenant General Sim von Jessef.

"Welcome to Heligoland, Captain Karl."

Lieutenant General Jeff walked over, smiling and extending his hand.

"Your Majesty is flattered and honored to meet again, Your Excellency General Jeff."

Karl shook hands, and immediately saluted him. Although he knew that the lieutenant general had a good impression of him, he still didn't expect to greet him in person.

Then the members of the 1033 Squadron also saw the Lieutenant General. They had no choice but to keep Jeff low-key because the epaulets were too dazzling.

Quite a number of people were seeing officers of this level for the first time, and spontaneously lined up on both sides and saluted.

"Very good! Very energetic."

Jeff began to scan the crowd. He was very pleased with this elite team. After all, some of the personnel were selected by himself, and now he is still happy from the bottom of his heart.

"As the elite of the Central Army, you can come to the navy for assistance. On behalf of the German Imperial Navy, I would like to express my gratitude."

Jeff grinned and said very heartily.

"Long live the German Empire!"

Everyone immediately shouted.

This is a slogan often shouted by soldiers of the German Empire during inspections. Because of its wide use, many German soldiers have regarded it as a mantra.

After all, this slogan can be used to say hello, to say goodbye, to express emotions, or even to court...

Anyway, no matter when or what occasion, there is nothing wrong with shouting this sentence.
